This P will absolutely blow the house down. It’s been my main player for the last five years. The serial # is E790188, which dates it between ’84 and ’87. It’s equipped with the highly sought after Raven Labs PBR-1 preamp http://www.musicgearreview.com/article-display/221.html, a G&L MFD humbucker and an aftermarket tort pickguard. The neck was professionally refretted about 4 years ago. Weight is just a hair over 8 lbs. The body has been autographed by George Porter Jr. (see picture). Currently strung with Ken Smith Compressors. There are the usual dings and scratches you would expect from a bass of this vintage which has been played, but no significant mars or blemishes.
It will ship in your choice of a Baja padded gigbag, Roadrunner hybrid case or an aftermarket hardshell case – all in good condition. I will also include the original MIJ pickup, electronics and white 3 ply pickguard. If you like the George Porter medallion I’ll include that also. If you don’t want the autograph, I’ll buff it off prior to shipping. $600.00. I’m also willing to return the electronics to stock and sell the bass for $450.00. Shipping is $50 to the ConUS.        
Raven Labs PBR-1

I've never been one for autographs, and I certainly wouldn't want one on my bass. Different strokes for different folks, I guess. It is a cool looking bass, though. |
